I've wanted to go to Dartmouth since I was in the second grade. Growing up ski racing in Connecticut, I remember coming up to the Dartmouth Skiway for some junior races and driving through campus, thinking it was the coolest place for a ski racer to be. When I remained competitive throughout high school, it was thrilling to realize that my dream had become a real possibility.

How long have you been skiing and what got you interested in skiing?

I began skiing at age 2 and was racing just before my seventh birthday. My dad was a ski instructor and former college racer who put me on skis before I really had a choice. Looking back at it though, I'm grateful he got me into skiing at such a young age.

Tell me something interesting about you that might come as a surprise to your teammates.

I used to be a baseball player before giving it up for skiing full time. I also have an older brother and younger sister, who are both ski racers. My dad coached all three of us until high school.
